The Enviroment
Lachlans first post in the Drafts section of his forum is an interesting series of point form notes on the sad life of a fisherman who is caught up in the spirit of the times and ends up within the senseless archive.
I really enjoy the unashamedly left wing politic explicitly bound in his draft. Enviromental issues of aboriginal land rights, energy management and the role of the media are themes around which a corrupt Australia are responsible.
I really like how the big enviromental themes are treated at grass root levels, that is how they affect this poor fisherman and his sad life. I am interested about how the fuel crisis, pirates and South American parasite affected him. There is a sense of global events that have marked this persons small, sad life. This leaves open many opportunities for other writers and Lachlan to cross-over plot lines.

Points to Consider...
Firstly, I want to reiterate what Alex has written. "Here Here", as they say in 'Question Time'.
Secondly, I just want to raise a few small points to consider:
The idea of the Liberals Inc. is an interesting idea for us to develop, especially in relation to the TNA. I wonder how much power Australia's government yeilds, or whether they are subservient to the TNA. In which case, the set-up involving the fisherman is a command passed down from a higher source of control?? Or, does the TNA have it's own Left and Right that spans accross all nations? We should think about this...(I'll definately keep it in mind for the Glossary).
Also, I was wondering how you imagined that the Fisherman discovered about the murder of his wife? Especially if his connection to the outside world ends when he becomes 'senseless', or does it?

More Thoughts...
Great! I think the more monologues that access this idea that Senseless is not death of self is ideal! I find it truely believable that the death of his wife would come to him in a dream. That concept actually heightens the believability of Mitnick's position, who has been able to remotely access her own body and create 'Senseless'.
I also love the concept that the fisherman has used his body for work his whole life, and that when this set-up happens and he is stripped of it and has to find other ways of surviving/communicating/being. These are all great concepts to work with, for everyone!!
Also, in relation to the government, I am as yet undecided, but I think your idea that there are branches of the TNA is a good one. I'll kep thinking and keep you posted...
I was also thinking about the Right or Liberals Inc. and wondering whether the Left or Labour Party still exists in 2025?? It also relates to your thoughts on democracy...Again I'm not so sure...but thanks for provoking the thoughts : )
